Join us tonight at 6:30 pm for our Park Walk of Vimy Ridge Memorial Park! We'll meet at the community garden area in the SE corner!

We took an arborist to visit ten of our school sites. Many of the trees that were struggling earlier this summer are much better thanks to doubling up our waterings and a week of cooler temps with a bit of rain. We removed two damaged by vandalism but none due to the drought!
